Hanover Garden Club: The Earth in Her (Our) Hands with Jennifer Jewell

In her presentation, Jennifer will explore the philosophy of Cultivating Place, her national, public radio program and international podcast based on the belief that gardens/gardeners are powerful agents and spaces for potentially positive change in our world, helping to address challenges as wide ranging as climate change, habitat loss, cultural polarization, and individual and communal health and being.

Jennifer Jewell is the host of the national award-winning weekly public radio program and podcast Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden. She is the author of the award-winning The Earth in Her Hands: 75 Extraordinary Women Working in the World of Plants (Timber Press, 2020), and Under Western Skies: Visionary Gardens from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast (Timber Press, 2021). Her greatest passion is elevating the way we think and talk about gardening, the empowerment of gardeners, and the possibility inherent in the intersection between culture and gardens.

This program is produced in partnership with the Montshire Museum of Science, and is free and open to the public. It will be held in-person (with refreshments!) and online, register here for the Zoom link.
